    Folding stock on an AR pistol

    FWIW the $5 stamp is for a transfer of an AOW (form 4). Making one still requires a $200 stamp. As for the folder I cannot think of a reason why a folding brace would make an AR pistol into an AOW. I think the debate about them is centered on OAL required for such guns with vertical front...

    PA Shall Issue...Right?

    Interestingly, Montgomery Co PA issued me a LTC as a non-resident entirely through the mail. This was in the late 90s, before LEOSA and before reciprocity was what it is now. I traveled to PA semi-regularly and wanted to be able to carry. Most counties in PA either wouldn’t issue to...

    New to Me Beretta Model 81

    Midway USA had .32 ACP on sale for something like $7/box a few months back. I bought a case, so feeding it won’t be an issue. My only other .32 ACP is a VZ.61 Skorpion SBR, I bought the ammunition for it, but I have always wanted a Beretta 81.

    New to Me Beretta Model 81

    I got a hand select from DK. It looks quite nice.

    Exile forum 1 wait times

    I submitted two in April of this year and they were both back in +/- 30 days. A friend of mine just got one back last week after 29 days. I submitted 3 more last week and my fingerprints arrived on Friday. Hopefully they will be equally as quick. Now, if we could just get these times on...

    Will hollow points work in a Beretta Model 81?

    That looks fantastic! I ordered a “handpick” from DK last night. I’m in North Carolina so ordering from Sweaty Ben at Classic would mean paying tax. Despite the “higher” price at DK the end result was actually cheaper with no tax and free shipping from DK. As for the magazines, Beretta does...

    What non resident permits does Virginia still accept?

    I got my non-resident Virginia permit last year. I applied in February and it wasn’t issued until June, it isn’t a quick turnaround option. I was surprised it took so long, especially given that when Virginia CHPs changed from may issue to shall issue in 1995 I was a Virginia resident and my CHP...

    Federal court strikes down DC anti-concealed carry law

    I’m likely going to be moving to Northern Virginia sometime in the next year to eighteen months. Once I get there I plan to apply for a DC non-resident permit. Most of my family is there (one of my brothers actually lives in DC, at present his guns are at our mom’s house in Fairfax). I generally...

    Which would you rather have.. Ruger GP100 .44 Spl. or Ruger Speed Six .44 Spl.?

    I'd actually prefer a SP101 with an enlarged cylinder window to fit a 5-shot .44 Special cylinder. You know, basically a well made Charter Arms Bulldog. Of the choices listed I would go with the GP simply because it is available from the factory. I have been toying with the idea of picking one...

    DC Circuit strikes down "May Issue" carrying schemes

    In theory DC issues non-resident carry permits. If this somehow manages to survive on appeal I plan to apply. Most of my family is in NOVA, it would be nice not to have to worry about the D.C. Line when traveling around up there.

    MP40 Replica

    I'm the definition of a working stiff and I have a M10/45. I bought it in 2012 and the going rate has basically doubled since then. When buying transferable machineguns there is no time like the present, they will always be more expensive later. I sold a handful of Title I guns to fund the...

    Law enforcement going back to 9mm

    My experience as an LEO and training LEOs has been that the more training they get, the better shots they are. Shocking, I know. I worked for one department that trained regularly with practical shooting in addition to qualification. Almost everyone could shoot well whether they liked guns as a...

    Reloading .45 ACP now...

    But does he have a holocaust cloak?

    Bond Arms/Boberg Ultra Compact 9mm BullPup

    I haven't shot one. Bond Arms just posted a series of videos on their YouTube channel about the gun. They appear to have made some improvements on the gun and reduced the price over the original. I doubt I'll ever get one, but it does seem like an interesting gun.

    "40 is a dead caliber"

    I'm far from a .40 S&W devotee, it is my least favorite of the "Big Three" (9x19, .40 S&W, .45 ACP). That said, whether it is objectively better, the same, or worse than the 9x19, it isn't going anywhere. There are millions of guns chambered for it, many of them available at discounted prices...
